Voyage autour de la Lune is an urban diary which draws the lines of an emotional and psychological map of
the city of Bordeaux along the renewed river banks, once called the
"Moon Harbour" for the large curve with which the Garonne River embraces
the city. Using cinematic language, the film
takes us along the tumultuous river's ebbs and flows, and drifts into
the intimate turmoils of the people
during the journey, portraying the city through a collection of personal stories.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh's design for The Glasgow School
of Art is renowned worldwide. New York-based Steven Holl Architects was
given the daunting task of creating a new building to sit opposite
Mackintosh's masterpiece.

Filmed over three years, Facing up to Mackintosh charts
the design and construction of the new design school, now named the Reid
Building, and explores how a building can affect the people working in
it. The film was completed just weeks before a
tragic fire destroyed parts of the Mackintosh building including the
iconic library, which was the inspiration for the Reid Building.
